As the year comes to a close we find ourselves overloaded with albums to listen too. Normally, it's quite the load of garbage as many artists just want projects available for consumer purchases around the holidays. This year is a little different. We are finding that everything we've listened to the last few weeks has been good or even dare I say; really good. Here is the first batch of albums of the end of the year that are stand outs. We know we've missed a few but hey, I got kids to take care of and Bizzon has....I don't know what that dude does in his spare time actually. Anyway, we'll get to everything in due time. Enjoy these while you wait.

Diamond D - Diam Piece

Diamond D has had several releases after his Golden Age classic Stunts, Blunts and Hip Hop (1992) but none of them came close to the success of it. His new album Diam Piece may put him back on top as a producer and rapper. If you are still into sampling and knocking drums this is as good as it gets. Besides the ridiculous beats the guest roster is pretty amazing also. Talib Kweli, Pete Rock and Skyzoo are just a few of the guests Diamond D was able to procure. This album is solid from beginning to end. Go get it today. Seriously, it's a hip hop heads dream. | Nov. 4, 2014»Read Full Blog Post

MMG rapper Stalley continues his attack on my gas tank with his new mixtape "Honest Cowboy". All I want to do when I hear these slow bass heavy beats and his lyrics about wood grain wheels is get in my Camry and pretend I'm doing something. Either way, with features like Scarface on "Swangin" and Schoolboy Q on "NineteenEighty7", it's clear Stalley could be the next to blow up. At only 11 tracks it feels somewhat short, but only because you want some more. Take a listen below and make your weekend so much better.

Since Jank keeps posting videos that eventually get taken down, I got something else for you. Stalley, one of my favorite newer MCs (who also happens to be on MMG) finally dropped some visuals for his latest single "Swangin", featuring Scarface. While they didn't recreate the wheel, there is never anything wrong with going back to your hood with one of the best MCs of all time and just having a good time. Too bad you can't see the videos that should be in your headrest TVs because I just wanna ride while I listen to this.

Fresh Cut just had the release party for this album last week and it was off the chain. They also were on the Mad Kids last week and previewed it. Get this album right now if you haven't. They recorded it live within a span of 3 days and the music speaks for itself. Kiran really outdid himself on the production throughout. But no matter how much you like hearing this album, it doesn't compare to hearing them live so when they open for Slick Rick this Friday at Moct, you need to be there. | April 4, 2012»Read Full Blog Post
